Nice cheap hotel, 5 minute walk to all the city of Seward has to offer. Free coffee, water, and tea available 24/7. Easy access to extra towels, toiletries, and an ice maker. Dirty lamp over the bed, didnt bother me but dirty nontheless

The location is great, but it needs some upgrades. Totally fine for a night or two to rest your head.

Clean and comfortable, but needs a bit of repair.

The motel is ok for us for stay one night. It’s very close to the train station and the cruise port. The bathroom is very small, the floor is very dirty and all the room in general too. It’s look old and not well maintained. Don’t expect too much of that place. The only good thing is the location.
4.0 / 5.0
It was clean and affordable. It is an older motel but don’t let that discourage you. Clean rooms and the beds were okay. The staff however were great to offer assistance and resolve any problems. I would recommend this place. Close to the downtown if walking.

Shower facuet was very lose and not caulked. large gaps in Front door framing. Fire and smoke detector not working and coming off the wall. Mold in window sill, and you had to sit sideways on the toilet to go.
4.0 / 5.0
Basic motel that is close to train station and the tour boats. Could use an update, towel rack and other fixtures were broken. Bathroom is super small. Overall the motel served its purpose for the night. Conviennent to the upper part of Seward and easy walk to downtown

My husband and a friend stayed there for a fishing trip and they thought it was wonderful. Drove by at several times, but never stayed there. Will put that in our list of places to stay for the next time.

Basically, this is a place to sleep. The room photos on the website are very deceptive. We were put up in a room around the back of the motel which was very inconvenient and dirty. You couldn't walk on the floor barefoot without felling the grit, the microwave was covered in dust and past occupants' fingerprints, one of the bed covers had cigarette burns in it. It just felt like it got cleaned whenever someone got around to it. The bathroom was OK, and there was hot water. We have stayed in some rather sketchy places in our travels around the world but this one takes the cake! Fortunately, we spent most of our two days in Seward away from the motel. For the owners: If you are going to put your customers in the back of the motel at least make the place presentable and secure. Everything in the room looks like it came from a yard sale.

The whole place was clean and did not smell bad. The front counter Person had dogs which gets 10 stars from me, but it was apparent she was bored… But she was really nice too, so it’s OK. Front counter was not open 24 hours which was fine because we didn’t need anything. The condition of the building was pretty good. There were some ceiling tiles missing, floor was uneven, And the carpet looked a little worse for wear (Both in the hallway). I love that the room came with a mini fridge and a microwave!!! Ten stars. It’s right near the port and on the highway so there was some noise if you left the window open, which we did, but I’m used to that kind of noise so it didn’t bother me at all. Plenty of parking, Smoking area, And right next to the parking lot where Kenai fjords tours picks you up. Ice machine, coffee maker with creamer pods, Tea, And hot chocolate, were free in the lobby.
1.0 / 5.0
nfortunately, the room conditions were not satisfactory. The rooms were dirty, and our room was located at the back of the building, requiring us to walk through the grass to access another door.
Additionally, there was over a 2-inch gap between the wall and the door, which made us feel uncomfortable as we had to shove towels in the gap for privacy. This experience was absolutely ridiculous and not what we expected.

What a dump! Booked through hotels.com for 2 rooms and the rooms were in separate buildings. Place was very old and dirty. 1 room you had to walk past the dumpster to get to and not safe at all.

This is an older budget hotel. There were limited options available in town when I booked. My friend was put in a room that appeared to be for staff on the back of the building. It was a lower quality than my room and one of the beds was on blocks. It. That room was not very clean.
2.5 / 5.0
Clean and tidy room with the option of getting as many amenities as you need from the office area without asking!!! Lot’s of coffee anytime
1.0 / 5.0
$250 a room for 2 rooms , so $500 spent to just sleep and have coffee 24 hours a day and NO breakfast was outrageously expensive. The hotel is old, toilet seat was scuffed, no clock, no charging stations around the lamps, check in clerk was not friendly or inviting.
1.5 / 5.0
Air conditioning was a major issue. Room was hot where as we wanted it to cooler. Cooling was not possible because every room in this motel was centrally managed. Hence additional table fan was provided for cooling. But it was not good enough.

Old but ok hotel

The motel is very old so hard to keep clean. Bathroom is ridiculously tiny. We made it for the one night. If we were staying more than one night I would ha e moved to another hotel

It is an older facility but it worked for me. Especially in Alaska, I was there on work. Comfortable bed, hot shower and free coffee.

The Manager came from across tonw in teh middle of the night to address an issue that was not of her doing, and was friendly and gracious in doing so. Comfortable, affordable, no-frills lodging.
5.0 / 5.0
Good basic hotel.
2.0 / 5.0
Hotel is very sketchy. Probably would have asked for a refund if I knew I could get a better room in the area. Very limited for the nights we were there. Very expensive for what you get.
Halls had dirty, stained carpet, missing ceiling tiles with wires hanging down, patched walls, etc. Room was dingy. Bathtub was dirty. Shower curtain dirty and stained. TV didn't work (fuse to outlet blown), although it was replaced. No air conditioner and the heat ran continuously. Hotel provided fans. (Staff responsive to both of those requests.) It was still so hot in the room we all had trouble sleeping. Bathroom tight. No counter space. Drawers available, but kept coming off the rails. Towels were nice and fluffy. Surprisingly, better than some other hotels during our trip.
Old-fashioned key lock. The chain was broken, but at least there is a deadbolt to lock once inside the room.
Coffee and tea in the lobby area. Fuse blows when you make coffee and heat water at the same time. Others complained they lost power to their room.
Convenient location to catch tour boat to Kenai Fjords. Easy walk.
After coming back from an all-day tour, the room didn't look quite as scary. I guess the shock wore off.
2.0 / 5.0
First, the room had an a lot of cleaning smells like you were trying to cover up some other kind of smells. Second, the bathroom toilet was so close to the wall that your knees hit the wall when sitting down. My husband who is 6'4 could not set on the toilet comfortably or safely stand. My husband is trim too. Third, blood stains on the sheets. We checked out after one night. We had reservations for 3 nights.
3.0 / 5.0
Black mold on ceiling, dirty mattress, unpleasant staff
2.0 / 5.0
We reserved for two nights and prepaid one night. Had we not prepaid we would have left As it was we didn’t stay the second night. The manager was accommodating and understood. It was a dead giveaway when we got a list of potential damage charges. There were holes in the walls, stains on chairs and general wear and tear. Wouldn’t go back or recommend. Better than sleeping in a tent but not much.
5.0 / 5.0
Loved the convenience to the train station and the free shuttle service around town. The front desk staff, Shakita (hopefully that’s correct), was amazing! So accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.
0.5 / 5.0
Sheets were clean. But the carpet bathroom and overall room was not clean. no soap available.
1.5 / 5.0
There was no room service even when I requested one. Facility is out dated. Toilet was leaking.
2.0 / 5.0
You get what you pay for, but in this case a lot less than paid for! Check-in was chaos. The manager was negotiating free nights for fish, had no idea how I was able to book with Expedia and kept telling me I needed to get a refund! My room was decently large but with a really dirty linoleum floor. There was no bar soap to be had (“We’re out!”) so I had to use shampoo to wash my hands, no plastic glass for water, and a shortage of towels. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and easy walking distance to the harbor.
2.0 / 5.0
During check in I was informed there may be an issue with the toilet in my room.
The room smelled very foul.
The floors were dirty, I mean very dirty with spills that were not cleaned up.
Very loud neighbors.
A fan is not air conditioning.
No hair dryer.
Shower did not get hot.
Fan was coated in dust and gunk.
Curtains did not cover the entire window. Making the room very bright at night while trying to sleep.
Not a good experience at all. I do nòt recommend.
2.0 / 5.0
The photos of the outside make it look drab but inside it's nice, clean, modern. Staff friendly and helpful.
It's on one side of the highway. Be careful not to overshoot it. It is on the right as you come in, down below the highway level. If you drive over to the other side, you are one minute away from the docks and the area where tourists show up at the offices to join their boat tours. Parking on the other side is crowded, though, so give yourself time to find a spot.
0.5 / 5.0
The room was very cold and had no comfort. It was old and broken. No value for money
5.0 / 5.0
Other than there being no air conditioning, cute and cuddly place.
1.0 / 5.0
Heater didn't work. Hot water didn't work, door seal was missing, allowing alot of the outside weather through. Can hear almost everything from outside as it was the main road. Overpriced for the condition of the hotel.
2.0 / 5.0
On my original review I inadvertently wrote there were no towels in the room, my bad because just after hitting send I found them in the sink cabinet. Sorry
It’s a great place to relax and catch some much needed sleep from prior fishing activities.
